Warm gourmand-ish designer scents for winter

I just smelled Paco Rabanne 1 Million and it reminded me that I do not have any cold weather scents. I liked 1 million, although I don't know if it is right for me. I have also tried and liked A*Men Pure Malt...a lot.
Are there any other DESIGNER scents out there that you guys would lump in with these two as gourmand-ish warm scents that would work well in cold weather?

Another vote for Rochas Man.

Guelain L'Instant is another I'd say fits this description.

I would of course go with the original A*Men (Therry Mugler). Rochas Man is "nice", though, just a bit milky-way for me. Too romantic, if you want. A*Men takes no prisoners! (How I like this English phrase.)

Re: Warm gourmand-ish designer scents for winter

Jacomo's new "Man" (or "Silver") is mild but not a weakling. Pineapple, coffee, amber, plum, and mild pepper. I find myself reaching for it more than the other gourmands when I want a gourmand. Also, Dunhill Desire (red) for men is another one that doesn't get as much discussion here on BN as frags like A*Men or Rochas Man, but it's one I prefer by a wide margin over those two.

I would have to say YSL, Opium. Now, if you can get your hands on the EDP version then that is even better because it, to my nose, smells much deeper than the EDT. I feel like the EDT, albeit fantastic, is a tad watered down when compared with the EDP. But please do not get me wrong the EDT is still fantastic and very strong - it can clear a room or even drop an elephant from 50 yards away.

I also like A*MEN alot better than Rochas Man. I feel like RM smells a bit plasticy and much cheaper than A*MEN. Maybe I am nuts though because RM is a beloved fragrance.

Re: Warm gourmand-ish designer scents for winter

I would add Animale Animale for Men for a deep, warm scent full of bergamot, chocolate, vanilla and sandalwood. It can be found for cheap, as well.

AA is a fantastic call. It smells somewhat similar to A*MEN and Rochas Man; it has that chocolate coffee tinge to it. I think you can grab a 3.3 oz. bottle for around $15. Quite a steal if you ask me, especially some people prefer it to A*MEN, RM, and New Harlaam by Bond No. 9. On that note, I feel that AA smells much more like New Harlaam as opposed to A*MEN and RM.

All in all, if I had to choose a good cheapie that will warm me up, i would go for AA.:toppie:

Re: Warm gourmand-ish designer scents for winter

Since you said "warm" I was going to say A Men Pure Malt too. It's a gourmand but it's also decidedly warm and masculine. I think of Rochas or JPG Le Male, fore example, as more cool scents due to the vanilla. I saw Opium PH mentioned which wouldn't be a bad choice either especially if you can find it for dirt cheap. I haven't tried Animale Animale but I've heard lots of comparisons to A Men so if you can find it cheap it may be worth consideration.

How about the delightfully sweet, yet not exactly gourmand--Tom Ford Tabacco Vanille---so nice.

Your nostrils, which will dilate immesurably in unspeakable contentment, in motionless ecstasy, will ask nothing better for space, for they will be full of fragrance, as if perfumes and incense; for they will be glutted with complete happiness, like angels who dwell in the peace and magnificence of pleasent heaven.
